The Trump administration's order to eliminate $11 billion in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grants has already impacted some state health departments' work monitoring and researching Long COVID — even with those cuts in limbo.
And in her collection "Days of Grace and Silence: A Chronicle of COVID's Long Haul," Ann E. Wallace chronicles her and her daughters' ongoing journey through Long COVID through poetry.
In this episode of Still Here: How $11 billion CDC cuts are impacting state health departments' efforts to monitor and research Long COVID. Also, Jersey City poet emeritus Ann E. Wallace reads three poems about living with the virus.
Also in this episode: Three studies showing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on children. And the latest COVID-19 trends.
